[quote=Anonymous]"I find that DCPS parents spanning the socioeconomic spectrum tend to have inflated expectations of what their kids are getting out of all 3 schools - they've been known to call us in tears come April. The differentiated learning approach pre AP only works so well. " Yes. This exactly and it's hard to stomach parents insisting over and over again how wonderful Latin/Deal are for middle school (Basis will be added to this list next year) and how Wilson/Walls/Banneker are competitive with suburban publics and select DC privates. Capitol Hill families are the worst. Own it parents. You like your Hill house, your Hill lifestyle and financial freedom that comes from not paying tuition. All of those things are perfectly ok, but just admit that you're doing something second rate in terms of education for your child. Life is all about choices. Own your choices and please, please stop with the excessive boosterism. You're only persuading yourself at this point.[/quote]
